About Freddie

Freddie is a striking black and white Labrador Retriever/Terrier mix with a short, beautifully-marked coat and an expressive, symmetrically-marked face. At nearly 4 years old, he stands out for his large, floppy ears, long tail, and warm brown eyes. He’s medium-sized, weighs around 45 lbs, and walks well on a leash. Freddie thrives outside, loves car rides and playing fetch, and usually has a gentle, friendly approach with both people and animals. He’s fully housetrained and proved easygoing with two dogs and two cats in a previous foster home. Although returned a few times through no real fault of his own, Freddie keeps showing resilience and affection in every home. He did have a confrontation with another dog near his foster family's home—likely driven by his protective instincts—so a family committed to some basic training work would suit him best. Freddie is neutered and current on vaccines. He tested positive for Lyme disease, so consistent vet care is recommended. Baths aren’t his favorite, but he makes up for it with his sweet personality and soft temperament. Born July 23, Freddie’s a sun sign Leo, which might explain his sunny, loyal nature. He is currently in Marietta, OH. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
